Loch Earn Tourism Information (LETi) group has won a Scottish Thistle Award for "Working Together For Tourism" on BLiSS trail art and architectural installations, that line the A84 and A85 in four Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park villages.

LOCHEARNHEAD, U.K. - Nov. 24, 2016 - Rezul -- BLiSS art sculptures and installations were linked together on a trail that is designed to encourage visitors to smile, stop and spend time in Balquhidder, Lochearnhead, Strathyre and St Fillans villages - whose capital letters make up the word BLiSS, including i to represent the international tourist information symbol.

Kim said, "We are delighted to receive this award recognising our achievements in Working Together For Tourism. LETi has proved that a small group can carry out an effective tourism campaign on a shoestring through local peoples' skills, energy and enthusiasm. A huge thank you to our friends and collaborators, especially the artists and architects who lent us their time and twenty five magnificent and fun sculptures and architectural installations. And to the Villagers of Balquhidder, Lochearnhead, Strathyre and St Fillans who embraced #BLiSStrail 2016 and continue to support it."

LETi won the Central, Fife and Tayside regional awards and will now take BLiSS trail on to the national finals at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on March 16th 2017.
